The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1472 - 1469: Return to the Litian Dynasty!

Chapter 1472: Chapter 1469: Return to the Litian Dynasty!

The Melting Furnace Mountain Range, located in the eastern part of the Litian Dynasty, spans thousands of miles from north to south, and is one of the most colossal mountain ranges within the Litian Dynasty. Naturally, it is also a stronghold for Demon Beasts!

At this moment, above the high altitude of the Melting Furnace Mountain Range, flashes of lightning streaked across the sky with thunder resounding, dark clouds overhead produced a mysterious phenomenon!

Warriors training in the Melting Furnace Mountain Range all looked up at the extraordinary sight in the sky, faces revealing surprise and delight, and then they hurried towards the center of this phenomenon.

"Such a phenomenon occurring in the Melting Furnace Mountain Range, could it be that a Heaven and Earth Treasure has appeared?"

"Let’s go check it out! Don’t let others get there first!"

"Go!"

A group of Warriors quickly approached.

In about a quarter of an hour, this place gathered around ten thousand warriors, all looking towards the clouds above where a massive vortex had formed in the black clouds, twisting wildly as if it was going to devour heaven and earth!

Among these tens of thousands of warriors, there were faintly a few at the seventh or eighth level of the Yin Saint Realm, considered the strongest ones here. Seeing this, they could not help but feel a surge in their hearts, secretly channeling their Spiritual Power!

"The treasure is about to appear!"

"Exactly, looking at the vortex, it should be appearing soon!"

A group of Warriors were ready to strike.

Crack—

A thunderbolt flashed across the sky, and after a turbulent surge in the dark vortex, a shadow of a person emerged, his body covered in bloodstains, holding a sharp Treasure Sword. The moment he stepped out, he looked towards the heaven and earth of this place!

"Is it a person?"

"Isn’t it supposed to be a treasure?"

"What is going on?"

"It’s not just one person, there are many people."

The Warriors awaiting the emergence of the treasure below spoke in surprise.

As this shadow emerged, one after another, close to ninety Warriors walked out from the vortex, and their Cultivation was above the ninth level of the Yin Saint Realm!

Among this group, the leader carried a corpse that had already stiffened on his back!

They were, indeed, the Disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect who had been teleported from a long distance from the Hanhai Demon Kingdom...

Lin Bai raised his gaze towards the vast expanse of land, his sharp gaze sweeping over the tens of thousands of warriors below, and he said indifferently: "Nie Xiong, ask where this place is? Which Territory does it belong to? And how far is it from the Litian Dynasty?"

Nie Xiong with his eyes wide open looked at the mountain range in front of him, slightly shocked before he joyfully said: "Senior Brother Dongfang, no need to ask, I recognize this place, this is... the Melting Furnace Mountain Range!"

"The Melting Furnace Mountain Range? Is it one of the nine colossal mountain ranges within the Litian Dynasty?"

"It is really the Melting Furnace Mountain Range!"

"That’s great, the Melting Furnace Mountain Range is not far from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, we are finally back."

Behind Lin Bai and Nie Xiong, a group of Warriors spoke excitedly, and some were even moved to tears.

When they were secretly sold to the Hanhai Demon Kingdom by the Zhu Family and Zhu Lie, they never dreamed that they would have a day to return!

Lin Bai said: "Nie Xiong, you recognize this place? How far is it from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect now?"

Nie Xiong said: "I have trained here before, from this place to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, it’s only a three days journey!"

"Lead the way, let’s return to the Sect first!"

Lin Bai said coldly.

Nie Xiong responded: "Alright."

Just then, among the tens of thousands of people below, a middle-aged man flew up laughing and said: "So it’s Brother Nie Xiong, how did you end up in such a sorry state? Did you just come out from a secret realm?"

Hearing the voice, Nie Xiong turned around: "It’s Brother Zhang, haha, it’s a long story. Brother Zhang, I’ll tell you more after I return to Melting Furnace Mountain Range. For now, we are heading straight back to the Sect!"

After saying that, Nie Xiong, filled with a murderous intent, rushed towards the horizon, followed by the other disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect.

This warrior, referred to by Nie Xiong as Brother Zhang, stood mid-air, looking puzzled at the departing Nie Xiong, frowning in contemplation.

After a short while, one warrior after another flew up to Brother Zhang’s side and said: "Brother Zhang, those warriors’ clothes seem to mostly belong to the disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect."

Brother Zhang furrowed his eyebrows: "Hmm, one of them named Nie Xiong, I am somewhat acquainted with him, but by the looks of this group of Heaven-reaching Sword Sect disciples, they seem to have just walked out of a slaughterhouse, the blood stains on their clothes haven’t even dried!"

"Especially the oppressing murderous and Sword Intention they carry, it’s truly terrifying!"

Brother Zhang narrowed his Eyes, he recognized at a glance that the current Nie Xiong was not the Nie Xiong of the past.

"Brother Zhang, did you see that person? The one carrying a corpse, he looks very familiar, it seems he is the Dongfang Bai who mysteriously disappeared a year ago, the one known as one of the nine prodigies on Lingnan Continent..."

This warrior said with a distressed expression.

"What! He is Dongfang Bai?" Brother Zhang was instantly shocked: "Wasn’t it said that Dongfang Bai was killed by the Valley of Demons? Because of this matter, the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect has been fighting with the Valley of Demons for a year!"

After exclaiming, Brother Zhang’s Eyes darkened: "No matter who they are, since they have returned, it implies that a change is coming to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!"

...

Today, there’s unusual liveliness within the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect. Starting from early March each year, the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect would open its Mountain Gate, and all the Sword Art masters from the territory of all nations could come and join the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!

The Heaven-reaching Sword Sect recruits disciples every March, and the rules this time are different, any person who is keen on cultivating the Sword Art, regardless of their natural talent or the quality of their Martial Soul, can join!

This is different from Purple Gold City which only recruits geniuses.

That is to say, disciples who joined the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect from Purple Gold City would receive special attention and emphasis!

At the Mountain Gate of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, nearly one hundred thousand people gathered today, coming from various prominent families across the Lingnan Continent, bringing their descendants hoping to join the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!

At the Mountain Gate, a long queue was formed!

"Everyone please line up, do not cut the line, come one by one."

"Family elders, please do not wander around at will!"

Outer Sect Disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect maintained order in the plaza, organizing the recruitment methodically.

In front of the long queue, there was a ten-thousand-meter-long ladder named "Heaven-reaching Ladder." By stepping on the Heaven-reaching Ladder, one could become an Outer Sect Disciple of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!

Before the Heaven-reaching Ladder, two young men with arrogant expressions laughed looking at the ladder.

"Brother Wen Jiang, we’ve finally arrived at the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect. With your talent, joining the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect will surely bring you great attention, and I’ll be asking for your guidance in the future," one young man said with a flattering laugh.

"That’s right, haha, this Heaven-reaching Sword Sect will be my first step in dominating Lingnan! Sooner or later, I will become the sixth Junior Sword Venerate of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!" The young man named Wen Jiang’s face showed a hint of resolve!

The young man laughed: "Naturally, Brother Wen Jiang, it’s our turn now, let’s go, up the Heaven-reaching Ladder!"

"Alright!" Wen Jiang replied.

Ahead, warriors strolled up the Heaven-reaching Ladder, and after waiting nearly three hours, it was finally their turn!

Just as Wen Jiang was about to step onto the Heaven-reaching Ladder, a sharp and unmatched Sword Intention swept across from the plaza of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, descending like heavenly might!

Swish swish swish—

As soon as the Sword Authority arrived, a dense mass of Shadows simultaneously landed on the Heaven-reaching Ladder, right in front of Wen Jiang and others!

"Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, we are back!"

This group of warriors landed, their faces filled with wild joy!
